Questions Arise About Time "Massacre" Reporter, The Terror Friendly Aparisim Ghosh
June 2, 2006 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - As detailed in a cached google entry from the old RedStates website by a poster named GOPINION, Time reporter Aparisim Ghosh, co-author of the article that launched the Haditha "massacre" investigation has an extremely close and questionable working relationship with al-Qaeda and the insurgents.
Time reporter Aparisim Ghosh interviewed suicide bomber in training Marwan Abu Ubeida (a psuedonym) in Baghdad. The Time Magazine World
Inside the Mind of an Iraqi Suicide Bomber article opens with:
"One day soon, this somber young man plans to offer up a final prayer and then blow himself up along with as many U.S. or Iraqi soldiers as he can reach. Marwan Abu Ubeida says he has been training for months to carry out a suicide mission. He doesn't know when or where he will be ordered to climb into a bomb-laden vehicle or strap on an explosives-filled vest but says he is eager for the moment to come."
So, Aparisim Ghosh managed to track down a suicide bomber who plans to kill as many americans as he can. This bomber claims he is part of al-Zarqawi's Al Quaeda group in Iraq.
The kicker is not that they interviewed him, but rather that they interviewed him and made no effort to track him down in order to stop him from carrying out his attack or to find out where he trains.
out of concern for the safety of TIME's staff, no attempt was made to track his whereabouts after he left."
Apparently Time also confirmed that he really was a suicide bomber in training through other contacts in Al-Quaeda, the insurgency, and others.
The sincerity of his desire to make himself a "martyr" was attested to by several figures-- a member of his organization, al-Qaeda in Iraq; a Baghdad-area commander of an insurgent unit that provides logistical support for al-Qaeda bombers; and a Sunni imam who is sometimes brought in to counsel bombers during their premission spiritual "purification"--whom TIME consulted through Iraqis with contacts inside the insurgency."
As we noted, a recently captured Iraqi al-Qaeda document Translated Iraqi Document Shows Al-Qaeda In Disarray And Dependant On Lefty Media
"The policy followed by the brothers in Baghdad is a media oriented policy...Other word, the significance of the strategy of their work is to show in the media that the American and the government do not control the situation and there is resistance against them. This policy dragged us to the type of operations that are attracted to the media..."
Is there much question at this point which master Time Magazine is serving?
